Mine is Macojoe about 14 years ago I was out on a friends boat and while Cod fishing caught a Mako Shark and they started calling me Macojoe, now everything is that now.
But when coming to the internet I had to change the spelling. |

New name is: "CUCHUCA" or "LA CUCHUCA", which is the nickname of my Mother. My grandfather whom I never met ( died young ), used to call her that when she was young. The meaning of the name still unknown.
I called her and asked for her permission, and to my surprise, She was very happy about it !!! She even asked me to take her for a ride, and I will soon. That brings a story to my mind; When I was very young, prob 7-8 y.o., my uncle Pollo took his boat to a house we were renting on the beach, and called us all for a ride, I jumped in, of course, but my beloved mother could not climb into the boat, no matter what we did to lift her inside. So she stayed behind, and I had a blast ( that got me into loving boating ), but the picture of watching my mother staying behind by herself on the beach, waiving at us, gave me a very strong guilty feeling, and took me years to get over that. Now the guilt is gone, but the memory has not.

Thanks for the story behind Macojoe. I have often wondered where that came from. Why did you have to change spelling from Makojoe to Macojoe?

My V21 got its name from my screen name - Blue Runner. My screen name came about in July of 2003 when I joined my first message board ever - www.reddrumtackle.com - which is a tackle shop on the outer banks where I used to surf fish some.
Just prior I had been surf fishing at the OBX and caught two strange fish that I could not ID. It turns out they were blue runners. I ate them (along with a bunch of croakers and sea mullet) before I even knew what they were. Looked like a bluefish to me, but tasted better LOL! My first boat was named Cash Money - because that's what I paid for it - $900 clams. And a fine boat it was. Pictures in my gallery.

I've always like "Dis L Do"
Way back when...a buddy of mine bought a new Grady White instead of the furniture his wife wanted so badly... Hence the name "Cindy's Furniture"...

Not that it really pertains to your situation (atleast I hope not) but my dad and his partner's old boat was named "Three Nads". Story behind that is that his partner had cancer in a not so nice place and was forced to part with one of his beans. They figured they would celebrate his remission with the name Three Nads. My dad's two and his partner's one.
